Colorado Buffaloes<\/a> quarterback Dominiq Ponder died this weekend, the team\u2019s head coach Deion Sanders confirmed on Sunday with a social media post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“God please comfort the Ponder family, friends and loved ones,” Sanders wrote<\/a> on social media. “Dom was one of my favorites! He was Loved, Respected & a Born Leader. Let\u2019s pray for all that knew him & had the opportunity to be in his presence. Lord you\u2019re receiving a good 1. Comfort us Lord Comfort us.”<\/p>\n

Ponder was 23 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Details of Ponder\u2019s death are not yet known.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ponder, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound signal caller, joined the Buffaloes and “Coach Prime\u2019s” program<\/a> in 2024 after spending time at Bethune-Cookman before making his way to Boulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last season, Ponder played just two games for the Buffaloes while serving in his backup role. He recorded two rush attempts and one pass attempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Opa Locka, Fla., native also received tribute from a fellow quarterback with the Buffaloes, Colton Allen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Dom, you were a blessing to so many people,” Allen wrote on Instagram. “You had a presence about you that just made everything better. You brought so much joy to me and everyone around you. I’m grateful for every lift, every practice, every rep, every conversation we got to share. I’ll carry those with me for the rest of my life.”<\/p>\n

Ponder was going to be a part of Colorado\u2019s spring practices, which are set to begin on Monday. It\u2019s unknown if Sanders will postpone the start due to Ponder\u2019s passing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ponder also received a tribute from the University of Central Florida.<\/p>\n

“Our prayers are with Dominiq and the Ponder family along with all in the Colorado football program,” the university\u2019s football account on X wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
